Unicorn discovered in North Korea

A unicorn lair has been found in North Korea according to North Korean historians. The bizarre claim by the History Institute of the DPRK Academy of Social Sciences says archaeologists have unearthed rocks with the words “Unicorn Lair” engraved on them near a temple in capital Pyongyang.

The Freaky loves the idea that unicorns might have once really lived, but we strongly suspect that the claims are untrue. North Korea, which is run by Kim Jong-un, has a long history of bizarre claims, and this seem to be the latest.

The dubious report, released by the state news agency, says the lair clearly belonged to King Tongmyong, founder of the ancient Korean kingdom Koguryo.

The strange unicorn claim appears to be a way of communist dictatorship North Korea undermining enemy and neighbour South Korea as the report goes on to say that ‘The discovery of the unicorn lair, associated with legend about King Tongmyong, proves that Pyongyang was a capital city of Ancient Korea as well as Koguryo Kingdom.’
